At the third floor of the family home from the 1950s where the family of architect Francesco Valentini has been living since, this attic was originally divided into rooms as if it were to be made habitable, but was never completed.Before the renovation, the parcelling of the space was strict and the rooms clearly separated, with a load-bearing wall running along the entire floor plan. In order to remedy this division that made the place cramped and unlivable, the architect decided to intervene by knocking down all the walls in the living area and rationalising the sleeping area. Existing holes between the two were retained and no new separations were built. Ar. Francesco Valentini - Ph. Enrico Dal Zotto In renovating the apartment, th... More

The Noordvliet 139 project is about a former wine warehouse in the cozy center of Maassluis in the Netherlands. This large and independent industrial building is located by the characteristic Dutch canals.

In addition, through the windows you can enjoy a beautiful view of the garden and the shed. The garden is also newly bui... More

When visiting this understated manufacturing loft for the first time, we were captivated by the intrinsic elements of raw masonry walls, the distressed timber structure and the abundance of natural light. Its immediate connection with the urban context captures the noise of city traffic, the views of elevated trains and the Chicago’s most iconic architecture. To us, these spatial nuances needed to be emphasized and brought forth for all users of our client’s new law firm. The development of the office plan yielded a choreographed configuration of heavy posts in various proximity to new partitions, openings, and circulation. Blank white walls weave in and out of the building’s columnar forest, like a sculptural installation, reflecting light... More

A new detached home designed by Platform 5 Architects replaces an outdated bungalow on a promontory in a secluded lagoon in the Norfolk broads, providing practice director, Patrick Michell with a family home.

The property is also available for holiday rentals, further details can be found on http://backwaternorfolk.co.uk/   The house is arranged as three low rise b... More

The Forum was conceived in 2004 by John Gaunt, Dean the University of Kansas School of Architecture, Design & Planning from 1995 to 2015. Located on historic Jayhawk Boulevard, the addition to School of Architecture at Marvin Hall addresses the school’s critical need for an auditorium for lecture courses and guest speakers, while also providing a separate breakout jury space for student reviews and presentations. In this way, students of the School of Architecture will no longer be required to trek across campus to attend their classes, but rather, will attend classes in a building that exemplifies their studies on emerging technologies, passive design strategies, and energy-efficient mechanical systems. What was the old Jury Room... More
